Connect the Cite42 MCP server

Connect the Cite42 MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor, then ask in plain English for AI search, visibility, keyword and trend data.

Pick your environment

The fastest path is MCP: one setup and your agent can call the API directly. Choose Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Codex Desktop, Cursor, Claude.ai, or ChatGPT. For environments that don't speak MCP, use the REST API.

Install and sign in

$ claude mcp add --transport http --scope user cite42 https://mcp.cite42.dev && claude mcp login cite42
Then start Claude Code, or restart it if it was already open. Check with /mcp.

Ask in natural language
No code required. Your agent picks among 27 Cite42 tools, including free tracker management and history reads plus billed scheduled, manual, and live-data calls.
"How do Acme CRM, Rival CRM, and Legacy CRM rank in ChatGPT for "best startup CRM"?"

Optional

Ask Claude Code to install

If Cite42 isn't configured, run:
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user cite42 https://mcp.cite42.dev
Then tell me to restart Claude Code and sign in with /mcp.

Use an API key

For CI or headless servers, use Node.js 22.13+ and a key from API keys. Then restart Claude Code.
